v Se ee THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1982 SENATOR HINTS AT DEBT CANCELLATION "FOR DISARNANENT Watson, Administration Repub- Mean, Indicates Trade Might BeConsidered _. Washington, July 28—(?}—An in- pu t he ht be willing to. talk about debt rain if will reduce arms brought on more talk in the capital Thursday over what actually is going to happen. The latest pronouncement was from Watson of Indiana, senate Re- publican leader, whose views have no inconsiderable influence at the white house. He found it “unthinkable” that the U. 8. should let Europe keep the money it owes to build more war strength. But he did not find it “unthink- able” that the U.S, might be willing to trade debt reduction or cancella- tion for disarmament. He said: “It is mot up to us... to call a conference for the purpose of cancell- ing the debts the other nations owe us. ... It is their first move on the checkerboard, and that move should be of actual disarmament.” Watson's pronouncement was is- sued a while after Ambassador Mel- Jon talked with President Hoover and Senator Borah, who Suggested that a trade of debt cancellation for dis- armament be considered at a world conference. The Indianan said he had not dis- cussed the Borah plan with Hebover, But it was believed the Indianan’s announcement would prevent very Heit infers Poa) & world unless fi something about arms pai CONTINUE from page one Suggestions Under , Consideration by Local Commission down” and. that the sharper cuts pc be made in the higher brack- A question as to whether a eral reduction was made on all chy ens ployes brought the statement from Lenhart that no Percentage of cut had been applied all along the line and that the reductions had been considered separately. All of the commissioners emphasized that their salaries had been cut 20 per cent. Questions as to the salary of the auditor, accompanied by the state- ment that reports in circulation were that he was drawing as many as five salaries, brought a retort from Len- hart that a lot of misinformation had been going around in the last few ‘weeks but no answer as to how much the city is paying the auditor. Berwman again brought up the question of the cut on common labor and Lenhart said the commission has! tried to look at the taxpayers’ side as well as the laborer’s site, bearing in| ing. mind that when a man’s pay is cut his buying power is reduced and that Europe | budget, since the water department is operated separately as a business. Barneck was persistent in his de- mand and Lenhart was stubborn in his refusal. Later the agreement was reached to hold a public hearing on the report of the water department on Monday night, Aug. 8. Barneck said he has demanded this information in the past and always has met with refusal or evasive an- swers. He charged Lenhart with evading the question and awerted |that there is a direct. connection be- tween water department finances and the cost of city government. His idea is to have the water department ab- sorb some of the costs now being lev- fed as taxes. The best Barneck could get as to water department profits was the statement that it is “break- ing a little bit better than even.” After a long exchange between jLenhart and Barneck, A. W. Snow ;commented that they had spent much longer in discussing the matter than it would have taken to give the in- ff tion, He offered the comment t, when the commissioners were {running for office they promised pub- ilic service but now seemed to be hid- ling the facts. Lenhart’s retort was, “I am surprised at you.” Carl Nelson, manager of Armour and Company's plant, asked by Len- hart for an expression, said he feels ‘taxes are too high for his “personal | Pocketbook” and that everyone in the | temploy of his company has taken two} 10 per cent salary cuts. Question of Individuals Nelson said he interpreted the at- titude of the assembly as feeling that some city officials and employes are getting more than they are entitled to and asked anyone who felt that way to express themselves. He said {the general feeling is that the ques- tion is not one of general cuts but of | (individual cuts and that he was rais- | ing the question for discussion. The assembly was getting tired, however, \and no one pursued the subject fur- ther, although Nelson later observed that there is a feeling the salary cuts were not sharp enough in the higher | of the joint Farmer-Labor party of brackets. Meyer Cohen demanded to know why pay two salaries to the city au- ditor and suggested that the jobs be given to two ‘men, or else the pay be cut to one salary. Lenhart replied that it would be impossible to get a $150 man capable of handling the combined jobs. Some hen brought out the fact that the city auditor last year drew a third salary as building inspector but that | it is not being paid this year. Thereupon the discussion broke up into small groups, some persons talk- jing to the commissioners and others among themselves and the formal hearing drifted away. Lenhart said the commission would take the suggestions under considera- tion at a meeting to be held at 1:30 p. m. today and most of the pro- testors and spectators left the hall. GRAND FORKS ADOPTS CITY, PARK BUDGETS Grand Forks, N. D., July 28.—(?)}— Representing a reduction of approxi- mately 22 per cent, the 1932-33 budget for Grand Forks city parks was) adopted Wednesday night by mem- bers of the park board. Earlier Wednesday the city com- mission adopted a final city budget of $357,290, representing a final city) budget cut of $50,000 from the appro- priation for the fiscal year just end- The park board budget is set at} $34,150 compared with $44,150 last; merchants feel it. He said the city is|Year and the levy was fixed at $23,750 going to lower levels on everything in view of the fact that most businesses ere off 30 to 40 per cent or more. Richholt advanced the suggestion that the costs of street work could be reduced by adopting the section foreman plan, saying that “when Hinckley was street commissioner he supervised the work himself.” Answering a question, Lenhart said the city has no written contract with compared to $28,000 last year, a de- crease in the levy of $4,250. Employment Bureau Is Opened at Forks Grand Forks, N. D., July 28—(7)— W. E. Payton, special agent of the Kansas City office of the U. S. farm labor service, Thursday opened a free John W. Reel, recreational director, but that it had a verbal understand- ing he would be employed for three years at $3,600 a year. Under the budget he was cut to $3,000.

REMOTE Men Who Ought to Know Say Russia and Canada Are Only Possibilities Washington, July 28—(AP)—Men who ought to know aren’t very hope- ful of a gold rush like that of ’49 coming soon enough to bring the rise in commodity prices that Senator Borah and a good many others think would help things. The experts just doubt that any huge, new gold deposits will be found soon. In a few years—maybe. So thoroughly has the earth been traversed in the search for the yel- low exchange medium that geologi- cal survey experts are convinced only two countries hold possibilities of discoveries which would have any particular effect on the gold supply. _ In the opinion of G. C. Loughlin, | in charge of the survey’s section of | metalliferous deposits, one is Russia. The other is Canada. Loughlin re- cently received reports that placer deposits had been found in Siberia which yielded $25 per cubic foot of gravel. There is a possibility but not a probability, Loughlin says, of addi- tional rich finds in the United States. Undoubtedly a few areas will be de- veloped, but he thinks the day of the | gold rush is about over in the 48) states and Alaska, Public Ownership of Land Is Advocated| igi Saskatoon, Sask. July 28—(P)— Public ownership of land is the policy| Saskatchewan. At a joint political convention of the United Farmers of Canada, Sas- | katchewan section, and the Independ- ent Labor party here Wednesday, the clause in the farmer political plat- form favoring “nationalization” or “socialization” of land was endorsed despite fears of some delegates it The land policy declares for se- curity of tenure for “the worker in his home and the farmer on his land,” by the adoption of a system of use- hold tenure. Substitution of the use- hold system for the present system would in all cases be voluntary with the owner or occupant of land. Homecoming Groups Named at Dickinson Dickinson, N. D., July 28—(P)— Members of six committees in charge of arrangements for homecoming day at Dickinson state teachers col- lege Oct. 15 have been appointed and a@ number of conferences are being held to prepare for the biggest at- tendance ever had at the event here. The football game this year, al- ways the day's highlight, will see the Ellendale Dusties battling Dickin- son's Savages on the local gridiron.

D., July 28.—(?)—Ami- don school district voted 36 to 15 Tuesday at a special election to in- crease its mill levy beyond the statu- tory limit to provide funds for main- taining the high school here. The levy ballot is believed the first | one resorted to in North Dakota and | was made necessary by adoption of the 50 per cent valuation plan for taxing purposes at the June primary. The levy will be increased so as to provide $4,200 for school purposes, the amount deemed necessary to main- tain a high school. Under the 50 per| grasses, and fruits cent valuation plan and levying the maximum of 14 mills only $2,800 would have been available. Last year Amidon spent $4,900 for its school. Economies brought the es- timate budget to $4,160 for the en- suing year. Had the increased levy failed to get 60 per cent of the vote, Antidon would have been without a high school this year, Historical Society Receives Many Gifts Gifts and loans to the state histori- cal society are rapidly developing the state's collection of Indian pioneer and other relics of early North Da- kota to one of outstanding merit, it is shown in the records of the de- partment kept by Russel Reid, super- intendent.

The collection includes two old muzzle- loading rifles, a rattler, powder horns, buffalo horn spoons, and hand-carved wooden bowls. H. J, Rix of Mandan has loaned some relics of old Fort Abraham Lin- coln, near which he has lived for about 30 years. The exhibit includes a sword blade that came from the ruins of General Custer's old house when it burned years ago. A bronze cannon brought back from the Philippines by North Dakota sol- diers has been sent to the historical society for safe-keeping and will be displayed in the memorial building. N. D. Exhibit Will Be Shown at Fairs A North Dakota exhibit, designed to introduce to people in other states North Dakota's assets, will open a six- week tour of Iowa and Illinois county fairs August 15, it was announced Thursday by J.
